PROBLEM
A complete lack of information on power consumption in real time leads to huge wastage.

Indias electricity demand has been growing at an average annual rate of 6% during the last 5 years. This has been accompanied by a considerable surge in the fuel price in India. As the fuel price directly results in power tari increase (ranging from 20-80% hike), the power consumer has to be now more prudent towards their energy consumption, than ever before! The existing SCADA system used for energy monitoring today, are wired, high maintenance, and extremely expensive, and do not provide customized billing and consumption data. To meet the burning need, Ecolibrium Energy has launched Smartsense, an IT enabled infrastructure consisting of smart and self learning devices which can monitor and control the energy consumption of an entire Industry, commercial establishments or a Home, helping them cut down their energy bills. Smart Sense is the broad array of completely wireless and cloud hosted energy management system and services, which we deliver to the Industrial and Commercial Establishments providing tracking of the individual consumption by various equipments and appliances placed in the industry or building. The system comes with customized energy alerts through SMS or E-Mail informing the customer about its energy bills and the factors responsible for it. The data is not only monitored, but also analyzed by the smart sense Analyst team which is formed by certied Energy Auditors, leading to suggestions for reducing the electricity bills, leading to a healthier bottom line!

We are committed to tracking and revealing the usage of every kWH.

Constantly track consumption and costs - this stops any energy wastage before the monthly bill. Track energy use across locations - compare consumption of various locations of your company and form benchmarks. Evaluate trends of consumption to bring savings - see how changing the settings of a machine brings savings. Compare daily consumption patterns - constantly check if there is energy wastings even during shutdown hours.

Constantly track penalties (power factor, contract demand overload) and current usage through the SmartSense portal or even on your phone. Reduce penalties before they get billed. (SMS alerts provided)

Get daily/weekly/monthly customised reports of electricity usage in your e-mail. Track productivity with electricity consumed. Track if the power consumed for production is as per normal industry standards.

KEY FEATURES

CASE STUDIES
Hitachi Home and Life Solutions (India) reduces their energy consumption with SmartSense
Hitachi India used smartsense to track the consumption of their admin oce. A review and subsequent steps performed by the Smartsense Analyst team lead to the following results: Reduction in overall consumption, by eective management Total savings due to reduction in consumption during weekdays is around 90-100 units per day (around 25%). Annual savings (Considering 300 weekdays) amount to approximately Rs. 1,20,000. The savings during weekends and holidays amount to around 50 units per day (around 25%). Annual savings (Considering 65 weekdays & holidays) will amount to approximately Rs. 13,000. Key activities: Active monitoring and benchmarking of consumption using Smartsense, Tracking power wastage during non-peak hours, better temperature management in Air-conditioning units

Total Annual savings of approx `1,33,000 (15% of consumption) Karnavati Engineering optimizes its energy usage and saves on their electricity bil with SmartSense
Karnavati Engineering (A unit of Pharmaceuticals major, Cadilla Pharma), used smartsense to track the main meter consumption, leading to the following results: Plugging of Ghost Consumption in the unit Smartsense Analyst team found that the furnace panel was kept on during non-working hours in the night, plugging the leak lead to a saving of nearly 1050 units/ month, including saving during night hours and non-working days Peak Hour management A study by the smartsense analyst team found out that shiing of working hours by a couple of hours lead to a reduction of around 300 units per day in peak hour taris. This was done using no major change to production processes.

Total Annual savings of around 3% in the rst month of electricity bill Arvind Mills Ltd. manages its contract demand and power factor to reduce penalties and obtain rebates
The taxtile mammoth, Arvind Ltd., is one of the largest denim manufacturs in the world, used smartsense to track the billing consumption of the whole factory Reducing Contract demand penalties and power factor Billing demand was exceeding contract demand, and power factor was 0.89, thus attracting penalties. Shiing of loads between feeders and power factory improvement leading to a potential saving of nearly 16,60,000 annually

Overall saving of 2.5 % in annual bill.
